day evening.
In Waimea Court
The fim of the Wall & Dough
erty Cup Tournament came to a
dose last Sunday when the
final . round., between. E. D. Mur
dock and . M, P. Thompson and
Albert Homer and Harrison Rice
was played in Lihue.
The event proved somewhat dis
appointing inasmuch a s a hard
fought battle had been expected,
instead of which a rather one-sided
match was witnessed. Out of the
20 games played one team captured
10, the rules calling for the best
three out of five for the final con
test. Murdock and Thompson both
played entirely out of their usual
form, only succeeding in taking
one game in the first set and one
in the second set. Horner and-
Rice played a moderate game mak
ing everything possible count,
which under the circumstances al
lowed their score to mount steadi
ly.
Time for the match was approxi
mately 50 minutes. '
Score, 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 in favoi of
Horner and Rice, who now hold
the cup until the next tournament
is played off, which is scheduled
for April of next year.
Three Hawaiians were brought
ui- in Judge Hofgaard's court yes
terday for affray.' It seems the
trio were having a rough and tum
ble skirmish in the middle of the
government road, when Deputy
Sheriff Crowell happened along.
The net result of the contest was a
fine of ten dollars each.
Dr. Derby, the dentist, has re
turned to Lihue from the Maka
weli side of the island.
Measles Rampant
The sanitary inspector has re
ported altogether 150 cases of mea
sles in the Ilauamaulu and Lihue
plantation camps. The ailments
seems to be under partial control,
It is definitely known that the
case at Makaweli of three weeks
ago came from Honolulu.
The Hansen Estate
A petition of the admiuistratix
for winding up the affairs of the
Gustav Hansen estate has been
filed in the Circuit Court, and Fri
day, Decern her 3, has been set as
the date f-jr.heariug same.
Kapaa Will Cook
Vocational Instructor Creevey,
with the assistance of the boys in

FIVE MEN INJURED P
IN A. ROCK SLIDE. DRINKS BAY
I
Four Japanese and a Porto Rican
were caught in a slide of rock and
earth from the hill side near Lihue
mill Thursday afternoon, and had
to be treated at the hospital. Only
one of the men (a Japanese) was
really badlv injured, and he is still
under treatment.
The men were engaged in blast
ing material to be used in filling
the low district back of the mill,
to which it is purposed to remove
the stables. They had been strict
ly cautioned by Manager Weber to
watch out for overhanging lock or
earth when blasting, but disre
garded that warning, with the re
sult that a large part of the hill
crest at that point came down up
on them.
All of the workmen were injur
ed. but, with one exception, were
more frightened than hurt. They
were an awful scared bunch and
all but collapsed when taken out
and hurried away to the hospital,
It is safe to say that the warn
ing of Manager Weber in regard
to greater care in blasting will be
religiously heeded in the future.
FILIPINOS BEST
THE GERMAN TEAM
A very inteiesting baseball game
was played at Lihue Park last Sun
dav between a picked all-Kauai
Filipino team, and the German
nine. Some good batting was wit
nessed with but few errors. If
the remaining games keep up to
this standard, the series will be
Junior " in name only.
Kuhlman, pitching for the Ger
mans, maintained his reputation,
while the Filipino twirler made
quite a hit. The score was tied in
the eighth inning, a home run in
the ninth giving the "Brown
Brothers " the game, with a score
of 9 to 8,
A number of machines along the
side lines and a packed stand, al
most evefv Sunday, is evidence of
the gathering interest in this base
ball series
Dimmed Auto Lights
Auto lights with "eye-lashes"
on them ate beginning to appear
on the Kauai roads, although the
new ordinance does not go into
effect for more than a month yet.
Manv autoists arc planning the
use of fiosled globes, which, it is
understood, will meet the require
ments of the law.
Jurors Excused
Several persons subpuened t o
serve on the juries at the term be
ginning tomorrow have betn ex
cused for cause. From the grand
jury Manuel B. Fernandez, Win.

til the end came about noon yes
terday. Friends of the deceased
were notified of his death and the
widow and mother arrived in the
Mikahala this morning. Funeral
services will be held in Waimea.
Maria Batista, a Portuguese wo
man, aged 32, living tt Koloa,
drank the contents of a large bottle
of bav rum and died last Tuesday,
after several hours of vomiting and
convulsions.
The coronet's jury ascertained
no cause for the deed, although it
was stated the inquiry that the
woman wa a hard drinker, hitting
up anything from beer to Jersey
lightning. She was in the habit
o f drinking b a y runibut al
wavs took it heavily diluted with
water. In the final grand slam,
however, she gurgled the raw stuff
a large bottle at one clip.
Then her troubles began in
earnest and ended in her death
about twelve ljpurs later.
The woman was the mother of
three children. She was the house
keeper of a man named Tone, but
wii- not married to him.
